I just finished my first Whole30 but decided to do another 30 days. I've been really impressed with all the non-scale victories I've experienced but I've still had some sugar cravings and am just now starting to feel the increased energy. I think another 30 is just what I need.

I'm in for a September reset. I've done multiple Whole30s over the past few years...my last one in July.

Sadly, I did lots of food prep yesterday and had a few kitchen disasters......my meatballs are dry, my zucchini soup is lacking flavor, my tuna salad is funky......BUT I made these wings and they are the BEST wings I've ever tasted ANYWHERE! http://primalbitesblog.com/2013/07/26/paleo-buffalo-wings/ I used regular tabasco and ghee in the recipe. Seriously! You should try these if you like hot wings.

I'll still eat my "bad" food...I don't like to waste and Whole30 has changed the way I feel about food. I'm dipping the meatballs into mayo to tolerate them right now.

Happy Day 1 everyone.

Hi all! I am starting my second Whole30 today! I did my first in June-July and loved the health benefits I gained and the happiness I felt.... but halfway through reintro, life and old food habits intervened so I never got to finish my reintroduction. This time, I'm hoping to stick it all the way through... not only the 30 days, but a good, systematic reintro as well! I was on summer teaching break last time, so fingers crossed that my kitchen-slowpoke self can manage food prep now that my semester has started.

I'm in for the September restart also, this will be my 2nd round. I too allowed "old habits" to take over my reintroduction, so this time I'm really trying to focus on my triggers. I'm looking forward to feeling spunky again, happy day one everyone!

Good morning! I'm starting my first Whole30 today, as well. I'm eating my first breakfast on the program - roasted in olive oil some cauliflower, red potatoes, red bell peppers and asparagus, and put two fried eggs cooked in ghee on top, with half a fresh avocado and sliced tomato. Seems like a lot of food, so I can't imagine I'll be hungry before noon.

How is Day 1 going? So far so good for me. I just finished dinner, a nice piece of roast chicken, half a sweet potato and some kale salad. Nothing fancy. I prepped my crockpot with chicken mole and put it in the frig. That will cook tomorrow while I am out on a bike ride.

When eggs are your sole source of protein, it's as many as you can hold in one hand without dropping, so most people start at 3-4. If you don't like to eat that many eggs, just go two eggs and a bit of leftover protein. This was a couple days ago that you wrote this so I do wonder how you did that day and how it's going...

I worked this weekend (I'm a nurse and work 12 hour shifts) and had food prepared and ready so it was easy to stay on track. Tomorrow will be a big cooking day for me and maybe I'll make something special for Labor Day. Special = time consuming.
